Born in La Plata, Argentina, in 1976, Rebeca moved to Barcelona in 2000 after having studied Fine Arts at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata. It was in the Catalan capital where her career as an illustrator took shape. In the past 20 years, she has combined her work as illustrator with teaching workshops on illustration, color, and narrative in Sao Paolo, Santiago de Chile, and Buenos Aires as well as around Spain. She has published over 40 books, several of which have been award-winning titles in Europe and Latin America. After years of living in beautiful Barcelona, Rebeca now lives in a village near Tarragona with her husband and their two small wonders, Nina and Manel. Rebeca enjoys eating chocolate chip cookies while she works late into the night.
